Who are the key players fighting in Syria?
We explain the events in Syria in the last few days.
Syria's President, Bashar al-Assad, has blamed the United States and other Western countries for a rebel offensive in the city of Aleppo that has reignited the civil war. We explain who the key players are with the help of our colleagues from 大象传媒 Monitoring, 大象传媒 Russian, 大象传媒 Turkish and 大象传媒 Persian.
We bring together three people who have left Syria to discuss what is happening in their country.
We have the latest from France where the prime minister has forced his controversial social security budget through without a vote in parliament - threatening the collapse of his government.
Germany's leader Olaf Scholz has made a surprise visit to Ukraine - his first since the early months of Russia's invasion. Our correspondent in the capital Kyiv has the latest.
Presenter: Mark Lowen.
